One of the more interesting titles on show at the recent E3 show was Afrika for the PS3. Afrika's beautiful safari setting and peaceful photography gameplay was in stark contrast to the sea of sci-fi shooters and hack'n slash combat on display elsewhere. This probably explains why the game has failed to find a European publisher despite being released in Japan a couple of years ago. Taking photos of giraffes or hippos is not likely to drag your average gamer away from Modern Warfare 2. But surely there has to be space in the console release list for something a little different?

At least the game is now finally being released in the US. Natsume have picked up the game, describing Afrika's non-violent action and nature-orientated gameplay as being a great fit for the publisher. But what about you? Should Afrika get released in Europe? If so would PS3 owners fancy going on a virtual safari? Or should publishers just stick to the same old genres (shooter, sports etc)?
